Tv Season Info

Series one of crime drama The Sopranos begins with New Jersey mobster Tony Soprano having an panic attack, for which he begins therapy with Dr Jennifer Melfi. Throughout these sessions, we begin to find out more about Tony's past and upbringing. The season includes Tony tracking down an old associate who has joined the Witness Protection Program, the Lupertazzi Crime Family going on the lam, a high school coach committing a terrible crime, and an FBI visit to the Sopranos.

Home Box Office has telecast several of the most scintillating series of this decade, notably The Larry Sanders Show, Oz, Arli$$, and Sex and the City. You can safely add The Sopranos to that glittering gallery.

No, The Sopranos is not the equal of Scorsese's masterpiece, but it manages to bring a new spin to the words "dysfunctional" and "family," and it deserves its place alongside other HBO gems like The Larry Sanders Show and Sex and the City.

Audience Reviews for The Sopranos: Season 1

Not only was here that the golden age of television started, but I'm glad to say that the first season holds on surprisingly well after all these years. All the characters have some aura about them that leaves you wanting for more and despite not all of them having a good arc on the first iteration, they would subsequently have great storylines in the future. This is obviously much more centered on Tony and his relationship with his shrink and the character despite being a buffoon, there's plenty of depth buried deep in him and Gandolfini sells it like a pro. Add an interesting family betrayal storyline going on, to keep things tense and this first season is nearly flawless.
